  • The Evolution of the Roman Calendar Dwayne Meisner, University of Regina
    The Evolution of the Roman Calendar Dwayne Meisner, University of Regina Abstract The Roman calendar was first developed as a lunar | 290 calendar, so it was difficult for the Romans to reconcile this with the natural solar year. In 45 BC, Julius Caesar reformed the calendar, creating a solar year of 365 days with leap years every four years. This article explains the process by which the Roman calendar evolved and argues that the reason February has 28 days is that Caesar did not want to interfere with religious festivals that occurred in February. Beginning as a lunar calendar, the Romans developed a lunisolar system that tried to reconcile lunar months with the solar year, with the unfortunate result that the calendar was often inaccurate by up to four months. Caesar fixed this by changing the lengths of most months, but made no change to February because of the tradition of intercalation, which the article explains, and because of festivals that were celebrated in February that were connected to the Roman New Year, which had originally been on March 1. Introduction The reason why February has 28 days in the modern calendar is that Caesar did not want to interfere with festivals that honored the dead, some of which were Past Imperfect 15 (2009) | © | ISSN 1711-053X | eISSN 1718-4487 connected to the position of the Roman New Year. In the earliest calendars of the Roman Republic, the year began on March 1, because the consuls, after whom the year was named, began their years in office on the Ides of March.

I must begin with my family, Tom, Michael, Lisa, and Mom. Their love and support throughout this entire process have meant so much to me. I dedicate this project to my Mom especially; I must acknowledge that nearly every good thing I know and good decision I’ve made is because of her. She has (literally and figuratively) pushed me to achieve this dream. Mom has been my rock, my wall to lean upon, every single day. I love you, Mom. Tom, Michael, and Lisa have been the best siblings and sister-in-law. Tom thinks what I do is cool, and that means the world to a little sister.

  • Calendar of Roman Events
    Introduction Steve Worboys and I began this calendar in 1980 or 1981 when we discovered that the exact dates of many events survive from Roman antiquity, the most famous being the ides of March murder of Caesar. Flipping through a few books on Roman history revealed a handful of dates, and we believed that to fill every day of the year would certainly be impossible. From 1981 until 1989 I kept the calendar, adding dates as I ran across them. In 1989 I typed the list into the computer and we began again to plunder books and journals for dates, this time recording sources. Since then I have worked and reworked the Calendar, revising old entries and adding many, many more. The Roman Calendar The calendar was reformed twice, once by Caesar in 46 BC and later by Augustus in 8 BC. Each of these reforms is described in A. K. Michels’ book The Calendar of the Roman Republic. In an ordinary pre-Julian year, the number of days in each month was as follows: 29 January 31 May 29 September 28 February 29 June 31 October 31 March 31 Quintilis (July) 29 November 29 April 29 Sextilis (August) 29 December. The Romans did not number the days of the months consecutively. They reckoned backwards from three fixed points: The kalends, the nones, and the ides. The kalends is the first day of the month. For months with 31 days the nones fall on the 7th and the ides the 15th. For other months the nones fall on the 5th and the ides on the 13th.

  • Sna/M1.20/4.3
    SNA/M1.20/4.3 14th Meeting of the Advisory Expert Group on National Accounts, 5-9 October 2020, Virtual Meeting Agenda item: 4.3 Special Purpose Entities Introduction As part of the System of National Accounts (SNA) Research Agenda, the Globalization Task Team (GZTT) has been assigned to develop a guidance note (GN) on “Special Purpose Entities (SPEs)”. SPEs, as part of intra-MNE activities, present measurement challenges for both national accounts and balance of payments. The GN analyzes the existing materials and examines ways to identify economic and financial flows of SPEs within macroeconomic statistics with a view to better understand their contribution from both the national and international accounts’ perspective. Drawing on extensive research on SPEs, the GN explores the possible options whether to (i) change the “core” SNA and BPM6 framework or (ii) not, but rather collect supplemental information on SPEs or extend the core framework with complementary presentation of SPEs based on nationality, for consideration during the 2008 SNA and BPM6 updates. For options that leave the “core” framework unchanged, the GN suggests looking into more disaggregated (granular or supplemental) data, as well as the possibility of extending the conceptual framework, by providing alternative concepts. The draft GN summarizes the discussion of the GZTT, underscoring the preference to leave the core SNA and BPM framework unchanged but consider supplemental information. The GN; however, puts forward a definition of SPEs, drawing on the recent work of the IMF Balance of Payments Committee, to include in the updated version of the international statistical standards. Options considered As part of the SNA Research Agenda, the GZTT considered the recent and past discussions on SPEs to better understand their contribution to economic and financial flows both in the SNA and BPM framework and discuss a way forward.

  • History of the Calendar
    History of the Calendar The premise of the earliest Roman calendar is the meshing of a thirty-day lunar cycle with an eight-day market week (the interval required for the processing of goat’s cheese). Four months of thirty days each was the soonest these two units can be integrated. 120 days also roughly corresponds with the gestation period of a pig. The first month of the Roman year was March, followed by April, May, and June. March is named after the god of war, Mars. April is derived from the word aper, a boar. May is probably related to an old word for a sow, and June is named after the queen of the gods, Juno. There is evidence to suggest that March and June were originally named Caprotinus and Fabarius, words also related to the raising of pigs. According to tradition, around 738 B.C. Romulus, the legendary founder of Rome, added six months to the calendar. He unimaginatively named them the fifth through tenth months. An additional day was added to March, May, July, and October to maintain the eight-day market week –304 days. Numa Pompilius, the second king of Rome, added January (29 days) and February (28 days), and he took away one day each from the thirty-day months – 355 days. This calendar does not maintain the eight-day market week, but it does roughly coincide with twelve cycles of the moon, a lunar year. Initially intercalary days were added at the end of February to keep the calendar in line with the eight-day market week; later an intercalary month (Mercedonius) was added in alternate years to bring the lunar year into accord with the solar year and the changes in the seasons.

Aurelian built a magnificent new temple for Sol in Rome, elevated the priests of Sol to the level of pontifices, and instituted quadrennial games for the sun god. Constantine’s initial predilection for Sol/Apollo is well documented, though variously interpreted, and although he turned away from Sol Constantine was not the last emperor to support solar cult.
